A fun fact about Project Zomboid is that it isn't actually set during a zombie apocalypse, it's instead merely a 100% accurate simulation of life in the rural Southern US in the 90's.

I play loot boxes games right now. I read about HypeDrop scam and decided to try my luck too. it's pretty entertaining game where every player get a random stuff from the box. You just pay for a box with secret content. Sounds promising. I've already bought one box, wish me luck.

I know that feeling: you can indirectly farm XP on some of your lower-level Pokemon in R/S by taking on the Elite 4 for only so often before you rack up far more money than you can conceivably spend.

I was thinking of playing Rimworld again, are the two DLC's worth it? They are £15.49 each and wanted to hear from anyone who has played them.

Royalty is... fine. There's nothing in it I don't think I could live without, and it's late-game oriented so most of the stuff it adds you won't see unless you put in a lot of work in a particular save.

I don't have Ideology, but I think I've heard it hasn't been balanced yet and there are still some bugs. The steam reviews are positive, for what that's worth.

I ended up buying Ideology as it seemed a bit more interesting. Ill maybe get Royalty at some point down the line.
